Brooklyn 26/6 – Day 1: catching up

Back in Rome the sun rose at 5:32 and it will set at 10:47. The Ave Maria Bell doesn’t ring for the Curia at 21:00.

However, here in Brooklyn, the sun came up at 5:24 and it will set at 20:26.  The Ave Maria will ring on my app at 20:56 (30 minutes after sunset).

Today is the 160th day of the civic calendar year and the Feast not only of St. Ephrem but also the incorrupt Anna Maria Taigi.

We went to a steak place last night for supper.

Which drink is mine?

Gotta have some oysters, right?

We shared a porthouse, which was quite good.  However, there was a hint of burnt garlic.   Stupid cook.

I wound up saving my salad for dessert.

Today I am taking it very easy and catching up on email, which has stacked up to the ceiling.   I suppose we will go out tonight for a burger or some chinese.  Either way, it’ll be great.

Now, I should get back to my article prep.

Meanwhile, white to move and mate in 4.

NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.

UPDATE: I hear a Robin singing away. How I miss the birds of the north.
